Viewing Results (Result Mode)

After a simulation is complete, the model will be placed in Result Mode. The status bar turns green and “Results” is displayed on the left side:

More importantly, editing the model will be disabled.

In addition, the cursor takes on a different appearance (it turns green).

When in Result Mode, elements with outputs that have been saved are identified in two ways: 1) the elements (and their outputs) are bold in the browser (and output interfaces); and 2) the element output ports in the graphics pane are green.

When a model is in Result Mode, you can navigate it, open property dialogs, and view result plots. You can also move elements around within the graphics pane, add graphics (e.g., text, images), and  add and edit result elements. You cannot, however, edit the model in any way that would change its behavior (e.g., you cannot change values in property dialogs or add or delete elements).

In Result Mode, the Run Control toolbar looks like this:

If you press F4, choose Run|Return to Edit Mode from the file or press the first button from the left in the Run Control toolbar, the results will be discarded and the model will be returned to Edit Mode.
